I've got particular personal reasons to be excited about this news, but I'll get to that in a minute. First, let's get the word out that out Hair star Gavin Creel's marriage equality advocacy group, Broadway Impact, is holding a rally in midtown Manhattan (the "Dance Belt") this coming Sunday to support Governor David Paterson's same-sex marriage bill.

Stars like Creel, Cheyenne Jackson, Cynthia Nixon, Audra MacDonald, and the cast of Hair will be on-hand to perform and raise awareness/spirits from 5-7, so if you're in the city get out there and show your support while enjoying some of Broadway's finest.

And now to the personal part: My fella and I are getting married on Saturday, in midtown Manhattan, about 5 blocks from where this rally will take place the very next day. We don't have quadruple-threat Broadway hunk-a-dunks on hand to entertain, but we think it'll be a blast, and I'm going to encourage all our guests, friends and family to check out the Broadway Impact gathering.

The very idea that the day following our wedding we'll be going to a rally to fight for the right to even GET married is, to put it plainly, complete and utter horseshit. We should be soaking in a tub of hot rosewater and ordering margaritas from room service, not cramming into Times Square with tourists and chorus boys ... but if it's what has to be done, we're there with f*cking bells on.

Hope to see you there! We'll be the ones with the new jewelry - be sure to say hi!
